The Osage Nation celebrated the opening of the Wahzhahze Early Learning Academy (WELA) in Pawhuska this morning. The building is beautiful, with Osage orthography and designs incorporated throughout. The $7.9 million building was made possible through federal grants, and five pieces of legislation from the ON Congress, which included ARPA funding.
The new building is 18,752 square feet and includes eight classrooms, outdoor creative spaces, a kitchen, two indoor gross motor skills classrooms, a teacher training room, and office space for WELA administration and Pawhuska WELA staff
Multiple ON departments worked on the endeavor, including the grants staff, Roads Department, Historic Preservation, Information Technology, and the Osage language and culture departments.
Principal Chief Geoffrey Standing Bear made remarks at the ribbon cutting, as did WELA Director Tara McKinney, Secretary of Social Services Teresa Bledsoe, ON Congressional Speaker Pam Shaw and Director of Childcare and Development Jennifer Holding.
